  • I've heard all the comments about how the travellers afford these weddings by not paying taxes and through suspect means, but how does this regular family pay the $100-150k these affairs are said to run? I know Sam worked, so I'm sure her savings went toward it, but still that leaves an incredible amount yet. The travellers may save for years in anticipations of these events, but I don't think her family would have.

  • @Glorindellen Apart from Sam's dress and the Coach rental, I doubt this wedding would have been *too* expensive. They had the reception at 'the local social club', not some ritzy venue, and I may be wrong, but it appears they have a buffet rather than a formal sit down dinner. Also, from what I saw the decorations look home made. These factors alone would have been a huge saving. I highly doubt therefore that Sam's family paid in the six figures all up. :)

  • I don't understand why these people left their caravans to be demolished. I suppose it could be out of some weird form of protest, but the whole purpose of caravan is it's mobility. But then the displaced people were able to get conventional housing, so maybe they didn't want the caravan anymore.

  • The inside of their house was actually really nice. Tasteful.

  • Why are they being evicted? Do they not pay property taxes or something?

  • @AlayaLee The problem was that they didn't have the correct planning permission. Dale Farm is located in the 'Green Belt' which means it's in an area which has strict restrictions on density and urbanization. I believe the residents of Dale Farm were fighting for about 10 years or more for planning permission. Some of the trailers/residences received it- others did not.

  • I don't mind their way of life, I quite admire their morals and dedication to their culture but I can't agree with the sexualisation of children

  • Comment removed

  • i try not to judge these people. they seem very kind and normal. they just have very old traditions.

  • hahahaha lmao people at six are big, Bless her¡

  • How ironic is it that they are "travelers" with a sign that says, "We won't go"! LMAO

  • handcuff purse??

  • this wedding was beautiful and the couple were so sweet and respectful to each other

  • It's funny that when the Travelers and Gypsies work honest jobs (which they do sometimes) the government doesn't mind taking their taxes but they don't give them any representation in the government.

    I guess you could call that Taxation without Representation. Sound familiar anyone?

  • those dresses remind me of mexicans quinceañeras .. just with the point that these are alot more extravagant

  • How the heck can such discrimination be allowed to happen in any modern society?They are seriously lacking in humanity if they can lobby to have people's homes destroyed in front of them and their children - want to tear out a few hearts and traumatize children much? There is enough heartache in the world already... geez!

  • For those who think the little girls dance too old for their age - did you hear where they learned it from? Mainstream tv. There's a lesson there. And for those who say that the girls dress like prostitutes... better to dress like one and actually have morals than dress like a nun/conservative prep and sleep around with the 'flavour of the moment'.

  • It's awful seeing how they leave people homeless just because of their background, that is soooo racist, they have every right to build anything there, THEY BOUGHT THAT LAND! It's theirs to do whatever they want!!! They're just building a place to live! Bad if they build a whorehouse or a crack house, but it's their homes. That's just fucked up.

  • These girls don't look any worse than those bimbos on The Only Way is Essex .And it fuckin wrong to evict them over a planing permit if the land is theirs .

  • parents whinging about pedofiles and look how those little girls are dressed!

  • I might not agree with alot of their ways but kicking them out of their homes is sooo sad and wrong. It's not fair they don't have much of a place to go :(

  • Grats, mum, ur daughter looks like a whore o.o

  • k.... nvm the kids dancing that happens all over the world even with people that are stationary... look at the destruction of these peoples homes!!!!! That is just terrible! How can you take away somebodies home, it may not our defintion of a home but neither is a box. Yet we have no problem leaving homeless people to live in boxes on the streets, do we?.....

  • these shows are definitely pedophile heaven! wtf are these kids doing.. be a kid... !

  • if they can't get permits to build anywhere, you can't really blame them for wanting to find someplace they can live...

  • Ide kick my daughter's ass if she danced like that. But hey,Im American :)

  • What I don't get is, if they're Travelers, why would they build? I thought they moved from place to place

  • Fucken hell letting kids dance and dress like that fuck em as far as I'm concerned. Then worrying about welfare and then grabbing girls fuck off.

  • Some of their beauty rituals reminds me of Toddlers and Tiaras... Spray tanning a six year old? Ignorance and bad parenting if you ask me...

  • @minik678 I was just thinking of that, lol

  • @minik678 I was going to say the same thing. I agree with everything you have said.

  • yeah, i find the clothing disturbing, but i think its beautiful how a gypsy and a non-gypsy marry eachother out of love, despite how people dislike it.

  • I didn't even know what a spray-tan was when I was six.

  • Ew. I don't care how many morals the travells have, those 6 year-olds should NEVER be dressed like that.

  • I don't find the those little girls dirty! These girls will know how to dance at an earlier age! I LIKE THAT!

  • I dont understand people like SNAZZYJAZZY!

  • I understand that people are upset that they're knocking down their homes. But they did break the law. They must have known this would happen when they started.

  • awww this couple is actually really cute

  • correct me if I'm wrong but the Dale Farm eviction happened this past October I think

  • It's actually very interesting how things that are seemingly Halloween costumes are such a huge staple in these peoples' wardrobe.

  • 6:46 I'm 24 and I don't think I could handle seeing that. How can a supposedly civilized society just destroy people's homes like that?

  • wait wait wait, she's 21!!!? I'm 20 and she looks at least 10 years older than me!

  • jerry is very mature for his age

  • sad when 6 and 7 year old have better moves than you.

  • A six year old getting a spray tan?! I feel like I'm waitching Toddlers & Tiaras all over again...

  • @bbrzy15 if more women heed this advice many more marriages would be happier

  • why do i feel like i'm watching toddlers & tiaras?

  • double face people !

  • sorry, i kinda wanna throw up looking at her hideous dress =/

  • mini whores

  • Kids have to accept themselves as beautiful naturally, before they should be alowed to wear make-up!

  • @funsizeme100

    I'm 14 years old, and I never actually found myself beautiful until I started wearing makeup a year or 2 ago. I don't really wear much, on a normal day just a bit of eyeliner and sometimes eyeshadow or blush. After that my self esteem went way up, and i still think I'm pretty even without makeup.

    Well, go figure..

  • The groom can't even reach his bride to put his arms around her - her dress is that gaudy!!! andfyi - the reception looks like a plain birthday party , no more. shabby !

  • from where do they get the money for all that? like the car in witch the groom came in?hello...his job is cutting trees, I don't think that brings that much money

  • i still dont agree with some of the outfits and dances the kids do.

  • sorry for the ignorants, but why are they not living in Ireland?

  • Aren't all their extravagant weddings expensive? How are they paying for them when the marriage couples are teenagers? I was always under the impression that travellers and gypsies weren't that rich or something

  • child prostitutes towards the end there

  • That one couple are like the UK version of white trash. LOL I'm sorry I couldn't resist.

  • i wonder how the gypsy and traveler kids dressed and danced like before the disco era. it just seems so strange and odd.

  • what a sweet couple! and since she is going all the way into his lifestyle and her parents are fine with it, i dont think there is going to be a problem. i think they are going to make it!

  • that non gypsy girl that is marrying really isn't that different from real gypsies. the only difference is that she has an attitude.

  • these people remind me of the jersey shore

  • like if you think those little girls dance too old for there age

  • @charme12211 Funny thing is that they learn those dances from modern celebrities, not their own traditions.

  • lil girl dances better than me! not fair

  • Those little poor girls acts like lolitas. They do not have any childhood. It is so sad.

  • I am appalled how those girls dress and dance. Kills me. NO decency.

  • Yeah where is the welfare for gypsy and traveller children when their parents allow them to dress like mini whores?!

  • @TheLolalee Its the only freedom the women have... not saying it's a good thing... but it seems it is the only freedom they really have.

  • 4:41 evil little inbred cow! haha the dog should take a big runny shit on the ugly dress!

  • He was very sweet when he regarded her in her dress : ) they are sweet kids.

  • What i want to know is were is all the money coming from??

    The dress alone would cost thousands of bucks never mind  everything else..

    And good grief!!

    the brides mom looks very trashy in that whench costume..

    I dont mean to be rude but she just looks trashy..

  • I am not supporting that they are being put out on the side of roads and their homes being destroyed.. But why should they be allowed to live somewhere for free ? I mean , they have the money to trough HUGE weddings ..

  • That little boy seems so sweet.

    I want to turn his eyes away from all that destruction.

  • They think they have the right to destroy their property, but while the law may be on the side of the destroyers, they have no real right. People have a right to live, and need a place to live. They waste less space than most suburbanites do, that's for sure. They have a real community.

  • People seem to be confused and getting borderline offended/ offensive. These are Irish travellers or 'Tinkers'. Completely different ethnicity and cultural practices to Romany Gypsies. Two seperate groups of people. The title of the show is misleading but I don't think 'My Big Fat Tinker Wedding' would've had the same appeal for the marketing department.

  • "Im gonna kill that dog" Lmao .

  • Honestly, I don't agree with much of their culture, but all the bashing of them I'm seeing on these videos is disgusting. Why are you people so full of hatred? Don't like them and can't hold it in? Then don't watch the videos. Honestly, you're only torturing yourself by watching something you can't change. Slamming them on an anonymous website isn't going to do ANYTHING.

  • i have seen some children in the black community dance like that as well, and it is disturbing. it is not CUTE!!!!

    these people are not what comes to mind as gypsies. is it possible that they are just a different kind? they are not dark hair with olive skin, but irish looking with freckles, etc.

    it is a brave thing for them to let us into their culture either way. i wish them the best.

  • Your travellers keep on travelling! You want to be grounded start paying for where you live like everyone else.

  • they r british travelers, no gypsys...!!!! i'm a gypsy, and i havent heard them say 1 word in gypsy.. gypsy music is a MUST on our weddings, and no girls are allowed to dance like that in public..!! that would be a shame on the family if they would... they dont even look like gypsys, they look more british to me... some gypsys live in caravans, but only some special type of them, NOT everyone.. and gypsys have a better taste for wedding dresses.. they deffo dont look like that....

  • That mother looks more gypsy than the real ones! barf

  • If you want your home pay the fucking rent like a normal person

  • Are you sure that is the gypsy? NOW LET'S not a word I have to au their language is one or a gypsy song. because otherwise there is always at every gypsy wedding gypsy songs or you hear them speak their language. You can hear the other gypsy weddings and their language and songs and so I think those are not gypsies

  • I don't find the kicking of the foredress very elegant.

  • I think its cute I wish I got a chance to dress up and look like snookie party be silly and just have fun with my family lolll!!

  • They don't look like they as descended from Indians. Love the fake tan on the mom, oof!

  • @Gobbledygooks1979 ....That's because they are following Irish travelers, not the Romani.

  • @mascj001 i did!! it's actually really nice song tae be wrapped in while hold'in your other

  • Wow the brits can be real jerks they wont even let these people live on land they bought fair and square

  • @MegaXFACTOR11 Yeah, it's not fair. Where else would these people have to live?

  • their houses are decorated in a very impressive way considering they aren't millionaries...

  • the dress says it all doesnt it...unrealistic.

  • reagge?¿?¿?¿? XD

  • Love snowbell at 4:43 and love the little girls accent trying to shoo him/her away lol "Get the dopey dog of mee"

  • that cut blacked eared dog trying to plat tug a war with her dress!!!!

  • once in their dresses, how do they pee?? hmmmm gets me thinking...

  • What a fucked council/s, won't give them planning permission on their own land, and then have the balls to tear down their homes, on their own land because for some reason they don't have planning permission. What a bunch of council wanks! And then evict them too??

  • why dont they just send atleast one of the travellers to an university to study law so he or she can protect them against the govt in these cases

  • I do think its a very strange community , the girls are all slutty , and yet they can only kiss boys , they're all virgins. And usually you see girls like that swearing and getting rowdy , but these girls are strangely respectful and despite their appearance their almost always family first and polite and lady like when speaking . Its very strange . But I think I like their culture , its nice. They care very much for their people.

  • @thebluebaboons

    It's because the women aren't allowed to be rowdy. Yet they are allowed to be slutty because the it caters to the dominant gender ( male ) . One in two couples is abusive, how is that caring for your people??!!

  • @thebluebaboons

    It's because the women aren't allowed to be rowdy. Yet they are allowed to be slutty because the it caters to the dominant gender ( male ) . One in two couples is abusive, how is that caring for your people??!!

  • Was that cameraman in there when she was naked getting spray tanned??? ugh weird..

  • @Amayra15 ignorant fool if ye wannae post do so with less time on youre hands

  • @legionireland Sorry but you made absolutely no sense. try again.

  • @Amayra15 Who said it was a male camerman, might of been female!

  • @Amayra15 Did you hear the person asking the questions? It's a male, that's the only reason I said it.

  • If they've the money for these first communions and weddings, they've the money to apply to council and build acceptable housing/extensions like every other non-gypsy

    person has to, who DON'T have the money for communions/weddings like these.

  • @phoenixrisen1970 They have always travel which is why they never pay to build on the land

  • @blondie9191 But these people have lived in that park for 7 years and wanted to continue living there. If they had got council permission for their buildings they'd still be there. So for some, it IS in their way of life. Local councils annoy me too, but they bought land with the intention of settling on it, to stop travelling, to make a permanent

    community. Peace

  • @phoenixrisen1970 It doesn't matter the time period in which they live at a certain place...the fact remains that they still will move as a way of life. They are move likely to settle down in this day and age but of the changing times. Not to mention that people are more hard to except the gypsy way.

  • @phoenixrisen1970 But their culture is to travel, that's a big part of it. It's not that they don't have the funds to settle down, its that it isn't something that's in their way of life.

  • they were evicted because they dont pay any rent.

  • @lilibit2 ye really are a twat aren't ye

  • that shoes and clothes on 6-8 yr olds......got to be kiddin' me...

  • ahahahaha that little puppy, so cute!

  • I would be embarassed if my dress was so big that I couldn't walk down the aisle.

  • It's so strange how their children don't really consider themselves to be children.

  • was the little girl naked when getting the spray tan? i couldnt tell, but that would be awfully weird in front of cameramen... lol

  • @angellllbaby yes she was and yea it would be because i would be all worried of them recording me naked but they dont show any of the lower half under the neck dwn

  • @sleepy4567 i know right? me too. The cameramen shouldnt be seeing little naked little girls. lol

  • wow her wedding almost was empty

  • @mascj001 Lots of people.....

  • Those dresses probably cost a fortune but they look so cheap....

  • 0:54 badly cut veil

  • WTF are them kids wearing?!?! Thats too short and showing in their age!!!...

  • THE MOM HAS A TAIL! XD

  • OH MY BALLS 9:33 the most gorgeous wedding dress I've ever had the pleasure of laying my sore eyes on that one night I forgot to take out my contacts before going to sleep LOL! I want my teal & white wedding dress to glow like this too WOW! :]

  • Travelers buy cheap land that does not have planning permission. You can't have people simply settling down where they want.

    If they want to travel, why don't they travel back to Ireland where most of them originate from. Evicting travelers from an illegally occupied site at Dale Farm is set to cost the taxpayer around 18 million pounds!!

    'Preserving their culture'? Come on. Fake tans, petty crime, mullets, tax avoidance and children dressing like hookers! Is that worth saving?

  • @ngipiksari It's not up to you to estimate the value of people's cultures. To them it is. And if it's costing them so much money why do it? They don't like travelers, thus do not want to integrate with them but they wont allow them their own space to thrive, how does that make any sense?

  • Gypsy jellyfish...

  • Aren't these people better off living in one caravan park? at least they are all contained and you know where they are. I don't know a lot about gypsy people, but I fail to see how banning them from being able to live in their own created gypsy communities is of any benefit to anyone.

  • Excellent documentary so thank you so much for posting as I dont get channel 4 over here on the continent. Why is it that everything needs to be mainstream and if that is not the case you're shunned if you are anyway different?? .... Ignorance ... In any case Im more educated now, one less person with prejudice.

  • fucking idiot, a water fire extinguisher can't be used on an electrical fire..... DURK-A-DUR

  • @Rabbitthateats lmao

  • i like pat, he seems like a really nice guy :)

  • @jesums he is most of the time but he has alot o' pressure bein put on him so it kinda sometimes can be said he is cold hearted

  • how can you say anything bad about a culture that raises children with so much self confidence. Look at the way they all give the camera their two cents!

  • Katherine kind of looks like ellie goulding, no?

  • Everybody looks unclean...maybe it's all the fake tan

  • LOL I hate when the camera zooms in on the little girls' butts doing those movements because I feel like a total child molester

  • I think that there is pure unfair prejudice toward the gypsy's. I feel like people are mad at them because of their customs and life style which absolutely ridiculous, it is almost as if the Gypsy's are hated because outsiders fear them.

  • Despite what everybody may say, I had a massive smile on my face during that first dance. They look so happy - the couple are ecstatic to be together, and I think the song was perfect! It's not what I would choose for my wedding, but it's their culture and I think it's incredibly interesting to see how they live!

  • @hulyadurrani well in that case, if the people who live on this traveler community, Dale Farm, own the land why not get the permits to build? They own the land why won't the local government allow them to build? Is it just prejudice?

  • @tranquiladealma crime rates soar in areas with illegal "traveller" sites.

  • snowbells sooo freaking cute <3

  • This seems like the UKs version of Jersey Shore. Snooki could be a gypsy.

  • @boogiechillen123 nope she is too high maintenance

  • how can the authorities just destroy private property like that? this is nuts!

  • Sam and Pat are my favourite couple in this entire series. If everyone was as mature as them maybe there would be less racism in the world.

  • thumbs up for snowbell the puppy??

  • where r there husbands

  • Im sorry but correct me if im wrong. They have money to pay for huge dresses with light and moving butterflies, arranging weddings and hiring huge cars that cost quarter of a million but they cant afford to rent a flat or buy a flat so they have to be evicted?

  • @hulyadurrani they don't want to live in flats, they want to stay in caravans

  • @hulyadurrani it's not that they can't afford it. It's that even though they bought the land the local residents refuse to give them the permits to build their houses or move their trailers in. It's not about money, it's about the locals refusing to let them stay.

  • people wonder how these travelers get the money to blow it on excess things like these costumes and communion spray tans...i guess when you live in a trailer, you save a shitload. :-p

  • i'm sorry but what a crap song to have your frist dance to!

  • Why does anybody need to be tan for a Holy Communion?!

  • anyone else find it disturbing how the little girls dance?

  • @kaylathefashiongirl I can honestly say I have seen worse at a dance studio from kids just as young.

  • @kaylathefashiongirl All they are doing is imitating what is thrown at them 24/7 by the media. Perhaps traveler parents don't discourage it because the timeline for their girls is sped up (marrying at 16, etc.), but it's what is all around and whether or not "normal" girls dance like that around their grandmothers, it's drilled into their heads to use when their teenagers.

  • @kaylathefashiongirl

    child protection service ???
